If you're willing to splurge, and want a REALLY good cake, I highly suggest Whole Foods' bakery on Roosevelt. They've done a great job for me on custom cakes before. They're esp. good if you love high quality chocolate cakes or cakes for those with special dietary needs. The staff are always helpful, and if you give them a few days or a week's notice, they're able to whip up something extraordinary. Hope this helps!

This isn't food for the purpose of nourishment, it's food for the purpose of bathing in affluence, food to reinforce your sense that you deserve only the very finest that the planet has to offer. The pyramids of exquisite organic fruits look like paintings, flanked by mounds of glistening lilies and erotic spreads of $7 a pound berries... I venture in there from time to time, and I always end up wanting to start a revolution by the time I make it back out the door. At most times of day, the aisles are crammed with people dressed in green cotton and hemp clothing, pushing carts inhabited by babies in $75 Petit Bateau overalls. There's a general atmosphere of "if you're worried about the cost, you don't belong here." This isn't a store, it's a cultural phenomenon. And not necessarily a good one.

Love the food, love the selection, especially for kids foods. BUT the people who shop here drive me NUTS! I agree with the other poster who made the comment about "cart jockeys" with road rage here....I only go here during the quieter hours of the daytime (if at all - I'm increasingly turned off by Whole Foods and prefer PCC), when my kids are mellowed and fed and there aren't too many people here. It's hard to enjoy such a good store and be able to shop with all the angry, harried, over-privileged, "A listers" here sometimes. I prefer Metro Market and PCC way more than this place for a normal and organic shopping experience. And lower prices too. Just can't beat the PCC laidback and easy shopping experience.

I love the Tirumisu in Whole food market at 64th St. & Roosevelt Way. It is now the only place where I go and buy my Tirumisu. They've got different sized Tirumisu with them and they are fresh. The Tirumisu there are totally different from those that are fridged or frozen as could be found in Costco. Well, the price is also higher, about $25 for the biggest sized ones which is about double the price of that sold in Costco. But, in my opinion, it worth the price.

I love the desserts at whole foods. Their bakery is full of high quality, but not healthy options. Their cupcakes are waaaay better than Royale and I like their petit fours better than Essential. The things that are chocolate are reallly chocolate and the things that are fruity are really fruity. I like the plain brownie almost the best of all.

I went to Whole Foods for lunch today, thinking I would induct myself into the cool kids' club of delicious, healthy, and earth-friendly lunchtime options, but I left feeling pretty ehhhh about the whole place. First of all, I selected a smallish tub of soup and shared a bit of pasta and a roll with a friend, and somehow still ended up spending $7 just on myself. Then, expecting great things from both the pasta and the soup, I soon realized that neither were as tasty as I'd expected. Perhaps I chose the store's only gross soup and pasta options, but I wish I'd skipped Whole Food's cream of asparagus and just gone to Nana's instead.

I love shopping at Whole Foods. Sure, it's spendy, but that only means you don't buy everything there. Whole Foods is where you want to get your produce, meat, and wine. They have an excellent selection of all of the above, and though you won't get bargain basement prices, you'll get EXCELLENT quality. I also love going to Whole Foods for lunch. They have a huge variety of hot and cold items and the ingredients are wholesome and yummy.

My best friend calls this grocery store "Whole Paycheck". This store is amazing and has the best fruit during the summer. The only problem is that everything is extraordinarily expensive. I know, I know its because everything is organic including the food that is premade. It is extremely hard for me to shop here because I want to buy everything! Its a great place to go for those nights when you don't feel like cooking, are not in the mood for greasy items, and want to be a little healthy. I love their salads and the bakery is not too bad. If you are a vegan there some great choices. The only other complain that I have for Whole Foods is the staff. Most of the time you will run into someone who doesn't have the time nor care to deal with you. I don't really blame them at times because that place can get CROWDED!!! I suggest going around 9:00pm. It seems to quiet down by then.

I usually go to Whole Foods for the deli items, unusual cheeses, and the wonderfully large bulk foods section. A lot of the foods they sell prepackaged, you can get much cheaper by getting a bag of it in bulk (for instance, vegetarian chili mix, falafel mix, or granola). The cheese department is awesome because you can ask for samples. The bakery department is oh so tempting, but a bit too pricey, generally, for my wallet. There's something of everything, pretty much, in this store. I still recommend PCC just because it's a cooperative, but Whole Foods will definitely do in a pinch.
